They go directly to the mirrors (usually their own) and this page isn't
targeted at them. You absolutely cannot make a single page that will
work for all our users, so you target the ones that get the most
benefit out of guidance.
Perhaps we need two pages. We'll drop people to the initial page they'd
typically see (i386, ppc, whatever) basically what it is now. Then we
make a nice ? icon or help icon and stick it all over that page, when
people click on it they go to more of a "download wizard".
This gives us two benefits. 1) we keep a simple page for people and 2) we
get to see how many people end up using the wizard. If we find that the
click through is only 1% that at least tells us something, on the other
hand if we find out its 50% we know we need to account for these people
all over our site, not just download.
